Since then, Jon's gone up in the world — sure, he got stabbed a bunch one time, but no one's better at dramatically dispatching White Walkers than he is, so suck it, Jaime!

Meanwhile, Cersei has never said a word to the King in the North in the entirety of the show's run, and she hasn't been face-to-face with little bro Tyrion since episode 6 of Season 4, when he was on trial for murdering her beloved son Joffrey, so this should be fun.

What could possibly go wrong in this scenario?

As we saw in the preview trailer for the finale, Dany has finally taken pity on Grey Worm and her Unsullied forces and brought them back from guarding the empty hallways at Casterly Rock, and they make an impressive showing outside the walls of King's Landing here.

Oh hey, it's Bran! Remember Bran? He's had eff-all to do since showing up at Winterfell, reminding his sister of her traumatic rape, cryptically messing with Littlefinger and spying on the Night King in episode 5. (Okay, he's been slightly more useful than Theon, but that's a low bar.) Will he be useful this week and finally reveal the truth about Jon's parentage? The jury's still out!

Sansa's relationship with Arya is nothing short of arctic right now, so this chilly image is apropos, if not particularly enlightening. The director of episode 6 told us that their tense showdown last week was supposed to "build up the expectation as much as possible that one of them is going to die," so consider us suitably freaked out.

Even Cersei's started wearing fur — we're guessing it's less of an homage to her Northern guest and more because King's Landing looks draughty as hell.

Interestingly, none of the photos show Daenerys — or the captured wight that the Suicide Squad sacrificed a dragon for — probably because they want to save her showdown with Cersei for the screen. We know it's coming, and we know it'll be epic.
